Poem by James Joyce


Chamber Music. 19. Be Not Sad Because All Men


Be not sad because all men
    Prefer a lying clamour before you:
Sweetheart, be at peace again—
    Can they dishonour you?

They are sadder than all tears;
    Their lives ascend as a continual sigh.
Proudly answer to their tears:
    As they deny, deny.
